[0038] The working principle of the integrated lettuce harvesting device of the present invention is as follows: through the coordinated operation of the multi-stage transmission system, the mutual cooperation between the four mechanisms of the cam-type four-link gathering mechanism, the space cam reciprocating knife mechanism, the reciprocating chain-linked variable speed lifting mechanism, and the adaptive leaf removal mechanism is realized. The cam-type four-link gathering mechanism is driven by the 84 series stepping motor 31 through the worm gear 19 and the worm 20. The worm 20 drives the worm gear 19 to make the four groups of cams 6 rotate synchronously. The bearing 24 is connected to the fork 5 through the fork connecting rod 22. The cam 6 forms a dynamic gathering of the fork 5 through the contact cooperation with the bearing 24, so that the four fork groups can accurately gather the lettuce. Subsequently, the synchronous pulley system transmits power to the space cam reciprocating knife mechanism. The groove curve on the surface of the space cam 10 is connected to drive the reciprocating cutting blade 9 through the bearing 24 to realize linear reciprocating motion, and the vertical displacement of the lifting mechanism is coordinated to complete the flat cutting of the root of the lettuce. The cut lettuce is taken up by a reciprocating chain-linked variable speed lifting mechanism. The chain system drives the Lelo triangular lifting plate 8 to move vertically along the vertical rail 18 through cooperation with the buckle assembly. When the buckle 21 drives the conveying card pad 11 to rise to the highest point, the conveying card pad 11 is separated from the buckle 21, causing the lifting plate 8 to automatically fall back, forming a circular transmission. At the same time, the adaptive leaf removal mechanism drives the V-shaped collectors 15 staggered up and down to achieve dynamic closure through the multi-stage linkage of the first optical track sleeve 2 and the second optical track sleeve 1. The two V-shaped collectors 15 adaptively adjust the opening and closing angles according to the diameter of the lettuce to complete the leaf removal action. Each mechanism realizes the full process automation of gathering, cutting, conveying, and leaf removal of lettuce through the precise timing cooperation of the synchronous pulley group, sprocket group, worm wheel 19, and worm 20. Compared with the traditional harvesting method, the efficiency is greatly improved and the intensity of manual labor is significantly reduced.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
